BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMA
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 6 Months Ended |
Aug. 31, 2023 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 1 Basis of Presentation The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim condensed financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed herein. Accordingly, the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2023, included in our Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year due to the seasonality of our product sales. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal year 2023 condensed statement of cash flows to conform to the classifications presented in fiscal year 2024. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies, other than the adoption of new accounting pronouncements separately documented herein and unless otherwise disclosed, are consistent with those disclosed in Note 1 of our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2023, included in our Form 10-K. Restricted Cash The Company considers cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is restricted. Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies long-lived assets or disposal groups to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met per ASC 360: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group; (2) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset or disposal group have been initiated; (4) the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable, and transfer of the asset or disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond our control extend the period of time required to sell the asset or disposal group beyond one year; (5) the asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We initially measure a long-lived asset or disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held-for-sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset or disposal group until the date of sale. We assess the fair value of a long-lived asset or disposal group less any costs to sell each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and report any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Upon determining that a long-lived asset or disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation of the asset and reports long-lived assets and/or the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line items assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale, respectively, in our condensed balance sheet. Refer to Note 3. Interest Rate Swap Agreement The interest rate swap agreement (“swap agreement”) is recognized on the balance sheet at its fair value. On the date the swap agreement is entered into, the Company designates the swap agreement as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash-flow hedge) if the applicable criteria are met. Changes in the fair value of the swap agreement are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedged transactions. This process includes linking all cash-flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether they are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that the swap agreement is not highly effective or that it has ceased to be highly effective, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively as discussed below. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (a) it is determined that the swap agreement is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item (including forecasted transactions); (b) the swap agreement expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; (c) the swap agreement is de-designated as a hedge instrument because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; or (d) management determines that designation as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the swap agreement will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income or loss will be recognized immediately in earnings. In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the swap agreement will be carried at its fair value on the balance sheet with subsequent changes in its fair value recognized in current-period earnings. New Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. We have reviewed the recently issued pronouncements and concluded that no new accounting standard updates (“ASU”) had or may have a material impact on the Company. |

The Loan Agreement established a fixed rate term loan in the principal amount of $15,000,000 (the “Fixed Rate Term Loan”), a floating rate term loan in the principal amount of $21,000,000 (the “Floating Rate Term Loan”; together with the Fixed Rate Term Loan, collectively, the “Term Loans”), and a revolving promissory note in the principal amount up to $15,000,000 (the “Revolving Loan” or “Line of Credit”). On December 22, 2022, the Company executed the First Amendment to our Loan Agreement with the Lender. This amendment clarified the definition of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to exclude dividends paid prior to November 30, 2022, and placed restrictions on acquisitions and cash dividends. On May 10, 2023, the Company executed the Second Amendment to our Loan Agreement with the Lender. This amendment waived the fixed charge ratio default which occurred on February 28, 2023 and amended the financial covenant to not require the fixed charge ratio to be measured at May 31, 2023. The Second Amendment also added a cumulative maximum level of fiscal year to date inventory purchases through the expiration of the Revolving Loan Agreement, increased the borrowing rate on the Company’s Revolving Loan to Term SOFR Rate plus 3.5%, required certain swap agreement be executed within 30 days of the amendment, reduced the revolving commitment from $15,000,000 to $14,000,000, effective May 10, 2023, and further reduced the revolving commitment to $13,500,000, effective July 15, 2023, among other items. On June 6, 2023, pursuant to its interest rate risk and risk management strategy, the Company entered into a swap transaction (the “Swap Transaction”) with the Lender, which converts a portion of the original $21,000,000 Floating Rate Term Loan from a floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the next two years. The Swap Transaction has a notional amount of $18,000,000 through fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2024, and then resets to $13,000,000 through May 30, 2025, while continuing to mirror the amortizing balance of the Floating Rate Term Loan. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company, in effect, has exchanged the floating interest rate of 30-Day Term SOFR Rate at the trade date of June 5, 2023, to a fixed rate of 4.73%. The Swap Transaction commenced on June 7, 2023, with a termination date of May 30, 2025. On August 9, 2023, the Company executed the Third Amendment along with a Revised Credit Agreement (“Revised Loan Agreement”) with the Lender. This amendment extended the Revolving Loan maturity date to January 31, 2024 and introduced a stepdown to the Revolving Commitment from $13,500,000, through August 30, 2023; to $10,500,000 through October 30, 2023; to $9,000,000 through November 29, 2023; to $5,000,000 through December 30, 2023; to $4,500,000 through January 30, 2024; and to $4,000,000 on January 31, 2024. The amendment restricts the Company from entering into any new purchase orders and use its best efforts to cancel existing purchase orders. It also requires the Company to list its real estate property located at 10302 East 55th Place, Tulsa, Oklahoma, for sale with a licensed commercial real estate broker satisfactory to the Lender on or before August 18, 2023, among other items. Contingent upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in the agreement, the Company shall within 15 days list its real estate property for sale located at 5402 South 122nd Ave., Tulsa, Oklahoma (“Hilti Complex), with a licensed commercial real estate broker satisfactory to the Lender. The Third Amendment also increased the borrowing rate on the Revolving Loan to 30-Day Term SOFR Rate + 4.50%, or 9.81% at August 31, 2023. The Revised Loan Agreement was updated for the changes in the Third Amendment as well as removed the fixed charge ratio and the ability for borrowings to be accelerated before the January 31, 2024 Revolving Loan maturity date. Available credit under the current $10,500,000 revolving line of credit with the Company’s Lender was approximately $776,900 at August 31, 2023. Features of the Revised Loan Agreement at August 31, 2023 include: (i) Two Term Loan on 20-year amortization with 5-year maturity date of August 9, 2027 (ii) $15 Million Fixed Rate Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 4.26% (iii) $21 Million Floating Rate Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR Rate + 1.75% (effective rate was 7.06% at August 31, 2023) (iv) Stepdown Revolving Loan with maturity date of January 31, 2024. The Revolving Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR Rate + 4.50% (effective rate was 9.81% at August 31, 2023) (v) Revolving Loan allows for Letters of Credit up to $7,500,000 upon bank approval (none were outstanding at August 31, 2023) Prior to the Third Amendment, executed on August 9, 2023, the Loan Agreement contained provisions that required the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge ratio. The Company was in violation of the minimum fixed charge ratio covenant as of February 28, 2023, for which the Company obtained a written waiver of compliance from the Lender and was not required to measure the fixed charge ratio as of May 31, 2023. Concurrent with the execution of the Third Amendment to the Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreement was modified to incorporate the changes outlined in the Third Amendment and the fixed charge ratio covenant was removed, as well as the Lender’s right to accelerate the maturities of the Fixed Rate Term Loan and Floating Rate Term Loan due to the fixed charge ratio covenant. Should the Company fail to meet any of the remaining terms outlined in the Revised Credit Agreement or fail to meet the stepdown requirements of the Revolving Loan, the Company shall within 15 days list its real estate property for sale located at 5402 South 122nd Ave., Tulsa, Oklahoma (“Hilti Complex”), with a licensed commercial real estate broker satisfactory to the Lender. Proceeds from the sale of the property would be used to pay off all the borrowings with the Lender. A third-party appraisal was completed on the Hilti Complex, consisting of the 400,000 square feet building complex on approximately 40 acres, along with approximately 15 acres of adjacent unused land, in July of 2022 with a market value of $41,200,000. The short-term duration of the Revolving Loan, the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to meet the stepdown requirements outlined in the Third Amendment and the ability to renew the line on January 31, 2024, among other items raise substantial doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management has plans that should it violate the terms of the Third Amendment or Revised Credit Agreement, the Company will sell the Hilti Complex and pay off the Term Loans and Revolving Loan. The proceeds from the sale of the property are expected to generate sufficient cashflows to allow the Company to continue operations without borrowing funds from their bank. In addition, management’s plans include reducing inventory which will generate free cashflows and building the active number of PaperPie brand partners to pre-pandemic levels. The following table reflects aggregate future scheduled maturities of long-term debt during the next five fiscal years as follows: Years ending February 28 (29), 2024 $ 900,000 2025 1,800,000 2026 1,800,000 2027 1,800,000 2028 27,900,000 Total $ 34,200,000 |

Part of the CARES Act provides an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes equal to 50% of qualified wages paid, up to $10,000 per employee annually, from March 12, 2020 through January 1, 2021. Additional relief provisions were passed by the U.S. government, which extended and expanded the qualified wage caps on these credits to 70% of qualified wages paid, up to $10,000 per employee per quarter, through September 30, 2021. Due to the subjectivity of the credit, the Company elected to account for the ERC as a gain analogizing to ASC 450-30, Gain Contingencies. During the quarter ended August 31, 2023, the Department of Treasury notified the Company of ERC credits awarded under the CARES Act for the first three quarters of calendar 2021. During August 2023, the Company received three refund payments resulting from amended 2021 Q1, Q2 and Q3 941-X returns that were filed. As a result of receiving these refund payments, the Company is required to file amended fiscal 2021 and 2022 corporate income tax returns reducing the wages expense deduction associated with the credit received. The Company has recognized estimated federal and state tax liabilities associated with these amended returns of approximately $1,041,600 as of August 31, 2023, which are included in income taxes payable on the condensed balance sheets. |

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
Concentration Risk Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 8 Significant portions of our inventory purchases are concentrated with an England-based publishing company, Usborne Publishing Limited (“Usborne”). During fiscal 2023, we entered into a new distribution agreement (“Agreement”) with Usborne. The Agreement includes annual minimum purchase volumes, based on Usborne’s fiscal year ending January 31st, along with specific payment terms and letter of credit requirements, which if not met may result in Usborne having the right to terminate the Agreement on less than 30 days’ written notice. Should termination of the Agreement occur, the Company will be allowed to sell its remaining Usborne inventory for an agreed upon period, but not less than twelve months following the termination date. The Company did not meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fiscal period ending January 31, 2023, did not supply the letter of credit required under the Agreement and certain payments were not received timely, which could allow Usborne to exercise their option to terminate the Agreement. As of August 31, 2023, Usborne has not notified the Company of termination of the Agreement. During Usborne’s fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, the Company earned a volume rebate of approximately $1,000,000, which was documented in the new Agreement. Usborne has refused to pay the $1,000,000 volume rebate owed to the Company due to not meeting the minimum purchase requirements or supplying the required letter of credit. The Company is disputing the cancellation of the rebate but has not recognized any reduced cost of goods sold from the rebate in fiscal year 2024 due to its uncertainty. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company no longer has the rights to distribute Usborne’s products to retail customers after November 15, 2022, at which time Usborne was slated to use a different distributor to supply retail accounts with its products. As a courtesy upon Usborne’s request, the November 15, 2022 transition was extended into the first quarter of fiscal 2024 at which time the Company discontinued sales of Usborne products to its retail customers. The following table summarizes Usborne product gross sales by division and inventory purchases by product type: Three Months Ended August 31, Six Months Ended August 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Gross sales of Usborne products by division: PaperPie division $ 6,227,900 $ 12,462,900 $ 14,590,200 $ 27,254,600 % of total PaperPie gross sales 48.8 % 61.1 % 49.8 % 60.4 % Publishing division - 6,214,200 2,740,000 11,665,200 % of total Publishing gross sales 0.0 % 84.5 % 41.1 % 83.5 % Total gross sales of Usborne products $ 6,227,900 $ 18,677,100 $ 17,330,200 $ 38,919,800 Purchases received by product type: Usborne $ 625,200 $ 1,206,200 $ 1,560,700 $ 4,783,500 % of total purchases received 21.9 % 38.1 % 25.8 % 52.3 % All other product types 2,223,400 1,956,900 4,478,000 4,358,200 % of total purchases received 78.1 % 61.9 % 74.2 % 47.7 % Total purchases received $ 2,848,600 $ 3,163,100 $ 6,038,700 $ 9,141,700 Total Usborne inventory owned by the Company and included in our balance sheet was $33,029,300 and $35,363,500 as of August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023, respectively. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | Note 9 Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding nonvested restricted stock awards. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of issued unvested restricted stock awards and additional potential common shares issuable under stock warrants, restricted stock and stock options, if applicable. We utilized the treasury stock method in computing the potential common shares issuable under stock warrants, restricted stock and stock options.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 10 During the second quarter the Company received a property tax assessment notice on our inventory balance at December 31, 2022 from Tulsa County totaling approximately $917,700. The Company appealed the assessment, requesting a reduction of the property tax assessment on inventory to approximately $175,500. On July 5, 2023, the Company met with the Tulsa County Board of Equalization (“Board”) and presented the appeal, which was granted by the Board. Subsequent to the Board’s decision, the Tulsa County Assessor appealed the Board’s decision by filing a case with the Oklahoma Court of Tax Review. The Company has accrued the property taxes associated with the Board’s decision of approximately $175,500 but awaits the final decision from the Oklahoma Court of Tax Review. Should the Court of Tax Review rule against the Board’s decision, the Company expects to further escalate the appeal to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Disclosure of Share-Based Compensation Arrangements by Share-Based Payment Award [Table Text Block] | Note 11 We account for share-based compensation whereby share-based payment transactions with employees, such as stock options and restricted stock, are measured at estimated fair value at the date of grant. For awards subject to service conditions, compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Awards subject to performance conditions are attributed separately for each vesting tranche of the award and are recognized ratably from the service inception date to the vesting date for each tranche. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. The probability of restricted share awards granted with future performance conditions is evaluated at each reporting period and share awards are updated and compensation expense is adjusted based on updated information. In July 2018, our shareholders approved the Company’s 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2019 LTI Plan”). The 2019 LTI Plan established up to 600,000 shares of restricted stock available to be granted to certain members of management based on exceeding specified net revenues and pre-tax performance metrics during fiscal years 2019, 2020 or 2021. The Company exceeded all defined metrics during these fiscal years and 600,000 shares were granted to members of management according to the Plan. The granted shares under the 2019 LTI Plan “cliff vest” after five years from the fiscal year that the defined metrics were exceeded. During fiscal year 2021, the Company granted 297,000 restricted shares under the 2019 LTI Plan with an average grant-date fair value of $6.30 per share. During fiscal year 2023, 18,000 restricted shares were forfeited, along with 760 additional shares purchased with dividends received from the original issue date. These 18,000 forfeited shares were re-granted to participants during the fiscal 2023 third quarter with an average grant-date fair value of $2.08. The 760 shares purchased with dividends were not reissued. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, 4,000 restricted shares were forfeited. These forfeitures are available for reissue to remaining participants under the 2019 LTI Plan. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense of these awards, totaling approximately $569,500 as of August 31, 2023, will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of 18 months. A summary of compensation expense recognized in connection with restricted share awards follows: Three Months Ended August 31, Six Months Ended August 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Share-based compensation expense $ 96,200 $ 261,600 $ 192,400 $ 523,200 Less reduction of expense for forfeitures (16,600 ) (141,900 ) (16,600 ) (141,900 ) Share-based compensation expense - net $ 79,600 $ 119,700 $ 175,800 $ 381,300 The following table summarizes stock award activity during the first six months of fiscal year 2023 under the 2019 LTI Plan: Shares Weighted Average Fair Value (per share) Outstanding at February 28, 2023 297,000 $ 6.04 Granted - - Vested - - Forfeited (4,000 ) 6.04 Outstanding at August 31, 2023 293,000 $ 6.04 |

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 13 We have two reportable segments: PaperPie and Publishing. These reportable segments are business units that offer different methods of distribution to different types of customers. They are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. Our PaperPie segment markets its products through a network of independent brand partners using a combination of internet sales, direct sales, home shows and book fairs. Our Publishing segment markets its products to retail accounts, which include book, school supply, toy and gift stores, museums, trade and specialty wholesalers, through commissioned sales representatives and our internal tele-sales group. See Note 8 for the impact of our updated distribution agreement on the Publishing segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the rest of the Company. We evaluate segment performance based on earnings before income taxes of the segments, which is defined as segment net revenues reduced by cost of sales and direct expenses. Corporate expenses, depreciation, interest expense, other income and income taxes are not allocated to the segments but are listed in the “Other” row below.

Disclosure Text Block [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Fair Value [Text Block] | Note 14 The Company maintains an interest-rate risk-management strategy that uses interest-rate swap instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest-rate volatility. The Company's specific goal is to lower the cost of its borrowed funds, when possible. On June 5, 2023 the Company entered into a receive-variable (based on 30-Day SOFR)/pay-fixed interest-rate swap agreement related to $18,000,000 of our $21,000,000 Floating Rate Term Loan. This swap is utilized to manage interest-rate exposure over the period of the interest-rate swap and is designated as a highly effective cash-flow hedge. The differential to be paid or received on the swap agreement is accrued as interest rates change and is recognized in interest expense over the life of the agreement. The swap agreement amortizes down consistent with the $21,000,000 Floating Rate Term Loan, expires on May 30, 2025 and has effectively fixed the interest rate of $18,000,000 of the $21,000,000 Floating Rate Term Loan at 6.48%. The notional amount of the swap was $17,825,000 at August 31, 2023. The interest-rate swap contains no credit-risk–related contingent features and is cross-collateralized by all assets of the Company. The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on this interest-rate swap is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the interest rate swap representing amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The fair value of the interest rate swap is included in the following caption on the condensed balance sheets as follows: August 31, 2023 February 28, 2023 Prepaid expenses and other assets $ 51,100 $ - There was no portion of the unrealized gain that was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Note 15 The following methods and assumptions are used in estimating the fair-value disclosures for financial instruments: - The carrying amounts reported in the condensed balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. - The estimated fair value of our assets held for sale was $4,694,000 as of August 31, 2023. We did not have any assets held for sale as of February 28, 2023. Management's estimates are based on the appraised market value and listing price of the asset less the costs to sell. - The estimated fair value of our term notes payable is estimated by management to approximate $33,588,100 and $34,253,500 as of August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023, respectively. Management's estimates are based on the obligations' characteristics, including floating interest rate, maturity, and collateral. - The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap is based on Level 2 inputs, including the present value of estimated future cash flows based on market expectations of the yield curve on variable interest rates. |

Subsequent Events [Text Block] | Note 17 Effective September 11, 2023, the Company (“Seller”) entered into a Contract of Sale of Real Estate (“Sale Agreement”) with MA Temple Investments LLC (the “Buyer”), for the sale of the Company’s property located at 10302 East 55th Place, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74146 consisting of 104,875 rentable square feet on approximately 3.5 acres. The Sale Agreement price was $5,100,000. Per the Sale Agreement, the closing process shall be completed on or before October 25, 2023, and has not closed by the time of this filing. In accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement, upon closing of the sale and commencing on the Closing Date, the Buyer and Seller shall execute a NNN (triple-net) Lease (the “Lease”) under which the Seller shall lease the entire building for a period of three years. The Seller will continue to have the right to sublease space within the building for the lease term. The initial lease rate shall be $4.00 per rentable square foot, with 3% escalations at the beginning of each year of the Lease. The Lease shall include NNN terms such that the Seller shall be responsible for utilities, insurance, property taxes and repairs and maintenance, excluding roof and structure, which shall be the Buyer’s responsibility. The Lease shall include other terms considered to be normal and customary in the local market. The net cash received from the sale will be applied to the Term Loans outstanding in the Credit Agreement with the Company’s Bank. During September 2023, the cash held in reserve, presented as restricted cash on the Company’s condensed balance sheet, was increased to approximately $1,500,000. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim condensed financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed herein. Accordingly, the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2023, included in our Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year due to the seasonality of our product sales. |
Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block] | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal year 2023 condensed statement of cash flows to conform to the classifications presented in fiscal year 2024. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Restricted Cash The Company considers cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is restricted. |
Assets Held for Sale [Policy Text Block] | Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies long-lived assets or disposal groups to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met per ASC 360: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group; (2) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset or disposal group have been initiated; (4) the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable, and transfer of the asset or disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond our control extend the period of time required to sell the asset or disposal group beyond one year; (5) the asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We initially measure a long-lived asset or disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held-for-sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset or disposal group until the date of sale. We assess the fair value of a long-lived asset or disposal group less any costs to sell each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and report any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Upon determining that a long-lived asset or disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation of the asset and reports long-lived assets and/or the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line items assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale, respectively, in our condensed balance sheet. Refer to Note 3. |
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The interest rate swap agreement (“swap agreement”) is recognized on the balance sheet at its fair value. On the date the swap agreement is entered into, the Company designates the swap agreement as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash-flow hedge) if the applicable criteria are met. Changes in the fair value of the swap agreement are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedged transactions. This process includes linking all cash-flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether they are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that the swap agreement is not highly effective or that it has ceased to be highly effective, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively as discussed below. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (a) it is determined that the swap agreement is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item (including forecasted transactions); (b) the swap agreement expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; (c) the swap agreement is de-designated as a hedge instrument because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; or (d) management determines that designation as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the swap agreement will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income or loss will be recognized immediately in earnings. In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the swap agreement will be carried at its fair value on the balance sheet with subsequent changes in its fair value recognized in current-period earnings. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. We have reviewed the recently issued pronouncements and concluded that no new accounting standard updates (“ASU”) had or may have a material impact on the Company. |
